00:00:50.560 cooking dinner or something like that and i will be there telling you what you need to know

00:00:55.960 or answering your questions as i am doing today all right here's one question do you believe in

00:01:02.660 purgatory and or limbo no i don't protestants don't believe in that we don't tend to believe in that

00:01:07.900 um that's a catholic belief but i don't find any biblical biblical support for that idea maybe it's

00:01:16.940 in the apocrypha but um no i don't believe in any kind of purgatory or any kind of limbo i think about

00:01:27.120 for example the passage that says to live is christ and to die is gain do i want to die and go and be

00:01:33.680 with christ or i do i want to live i'm paraphrasing do i want to stay here and continue my ministry for

00:01:41.040 christ and continue to live for christ and the immediacy with which he says that he would go

00:01:47.060 and be with christ as he died um that that makes me believe that's just one example that makes me

00:01:54.640 believe that at least for the believer that that is automatic that that's immediate after um after

00:02:02.260 death now for those who are i don't know in the middle i guess the belief goes um that rather than

00:02:10.860 go to heaven or hell there is kind of this waiting middle ground middle place but again there's just

00:02:17.220 no biblical support for that idea so no i don't believe in purgatory um do i think i don't know

00:02:26.700 if i've already answered this on a q a do i think that we could see desantis run for president in 2024

00:02:30.820 i think it is a very good possibility that's just my own opinion that is not um that's not you know

00:02:40.840 i i don't know for sure i don't have any like insider knowledge i don't know any of his staff no one's

00:02:46.640 told me that i don't know of a campaign forming i know a lot of people want him to at the same time

00:02:53.380 like i think that we want florida to stay awesome we want a place to move when things go downhill in

00:03:00.280 our state and so um he's doing a good job of running florida no matter what the media says he's doing

00:03:07.000 a really good job like he's helped keep the economy afloat by not closing everything down and

00:03:11.660 his numbers are comparable to uh equally populous states who have had very strict restrictions and

00:03:19.200 have shut their businesses down and have hurt their economy and so he's doing a very good job i see why

00:03:24.020 people want him to vote or to run for president absolutely i think he'd do a great job now he's got

00:03:29.420 executive experience why not but at the same time like if he is doing a good job as the governor of

00:03:36.540 florida like we still want that as well i just can't even imagine if if andrew gillum especially

00:03:42.440 after everything that came out about him after the election if he had won what a mess florida would be

00:03:48.060 right now another question do you write in your bible underline highlight yes i do now i kind of almost

00:03:55.120 wish i didn't because i have bad handwriting and i'm not very good at underlining straight um and so

00:04:00.460 my bible doesn't always look very good but yeah i don't know how you could not underline in your

00:04:05.440 bible it right in your bible i depend on those notes later and that underlining and i think back

00:04:10.660 to why i thought it was important but i mean obviously that's not necessary that doesn't make

00:04:14.420 you more holy or something if you write in your bible um people have a way of remembering things

00:04:19.500 people journal people have sticky notes and things like that but i personally do i write directly in

00:04:24.800 my bible underline highlight i don't know if the concern there is that it's like blasphemous in some way

00:04:29.080 but no like the word of god is living and active it is not static yes the pages are important but

00:04:36.940 that's not like the truth is alive and active it's not only contained in those pages and so it's okay

00:04:45.340 i think as far as i can tell biblically to write um to write in your in your bible um what do i think

00:04:54.360 about the book uncomfortable conversations with the black man i've not read that book so i can't tell

00:04:58.800 you what i think about the book i've watched the interviews though um and i will say emmanuel

00:05:03.540 akko is someone who has perpetuated the narrative that for example uh most of the disparities and most

00:05:10.220 of the issues that are pointed out um in in particular the black community are linked back to slavery

00:05:17.760 and the facts just don't hold up for example he has asserted that fatherlessness um is due to the

00:05:23.960 fact that just a few generations ago black people were treated as property and there just hasn't

00:05:29.260 been the time or the ability to form the black family and while it is true that just a few

00:05:34.160 generations ago black people were treated as property in parts of the country and while it is true that 1.00

00:05:41.180 even fewer generations ago um that there were jim crow laws that it was separate but equal so-called

00:05:48.080 separate but equal in the south and so there's no doubt that there have been injustices that have

00:05:52.600 affected black people and the black community but the idea that the disintegration of the black family

00:06:00.160 or the 70 fatherlessness rate of uh the black uh in the black community is due to slavery and is due to

00:06:08.120 jim crow just doesn't hold up when you actually look at for example uh when you when you look at the

00:06:14.120 studies that show uh the rate of fatherlessness uh in the country it doesn't start at the height of jim

00:06:22.580 crow it doesn't it doesn't start all the way back uh at the time of slavery actually the divorce or the

00:06:29.840 fatherlessness rate among black families was lower in the 1940s and 50s than that of the white family

00:06:38.640 that gap didn't start to really grow the fatherlessness rate didn't start to really increase

00:06:44.600 in the united states until the 1960s and by the way the white fatherlessness rate also started to

00:06:51.360 increase in the 1960s but not as dramatically as the black fatherlessness rate so if that's where we

00:06:57.580 start to see the gap like if that's where we see to start to see the huge uptick in fatherlessness

00:07:02.960 in in particular in the black community then it doesn't make sense to link that back to slavery or even

00:07:11.480 the height of jim crow because if that were the case then fatherlessness would logically have been

00:07:17.300 at its highest point when systemic racism and slavery was its most popular but that's not the

00:07:24.520 case that's not the case um we actually see that really start in the 1960s what happened in the 1960s

00:07:32.220 we had the sexual revolution we also had the beginning of the welfare state and so it doesn't

00:07:38.880 make sense if the black fatherlessness rate is higher than it's ever been you can't say that america

00:07:44.620 today is as affected uh by slavery as it was in the 1960s that's just obviously not true and so to

00:07:52.900 try to blame something like fatherlessness or crime on that when really those things have gotten worse

00:07:58.500 only in the past half century not in the half century before that um that just doesn't make a

00:08:05.600 whole that doesn't make a whole lot of sense we got to look at the other causes it's not always the

00:08:10.560 causes always this unbroken uh thread of the legacy of slavery for every disparity and every problem

00:08:18.200 in minority communities that mentality which again is not based on facts and this is something that

00:08:25.840 discrimination and disparities by thomas soul talks a lot about that actually causes us to avoid looking

00:08:32.940 at what could be causing that problem like what could be causing black fatherlessness that leads to

00:08:39.100 other problems when we just say well it's slavery when we just say well it's just it's just systemic

00:08:44.480 racism and then we don't actually look at the timeline and look at the facts that could cause us

00:08:49.240 to miss what the real source of the problem could be and it it inhibits us from actually being able to find

00:08:57.200 effective solutions to that if that makes sense and so i think that you know i've watched all the

00:09:03.560 interviews i think that they're i think that he is well-intentioned i think that he probably has a very

00:09:08.780 good heart um i think that you know he's trying to bring people together i think that he perpetuates

00:09:16.160 those some of the same false narratives that we see from you know any critical race theorist and i don't

00:09:22.860 think he necessarily means to i don't think he wants to i certainly don't think he's some kind of bad

00:09:27.760 person or anything like that but i think that he perpetuates some false narratives that again

00:09:33.940 lead people to avoid seeking out real solutions to real problems i highly recommend thomas soul's

00:09:41.160 discrimination and disparities i highly recommend his quest for cosmic justice which talk about some

00:09:46.660 of the things that we just talked about about when the fatherlessness rate uh actually started to

00:09:52.920 go up and why it has continued to increase recently even as civil rights have advanced even as there have

00:10:01.160 been programs and laws put in place specifically for the elevation of minority communities and so i think

00:10:09.240 it's important for us to make sure that we are deciphering everything that we're being told and

00:10:13.200 we're discerning based on um based on facts

00:10:16.280 okay next question which office character do you most identify with and why tough question tough question

00:10:37.000 hmm

00:10:39.000 identify with

00:10:43.540 well

00:10:45.160 maybe

00:10:47.500 jim

00:10:50.020 because i feel like jim doesn't start taking something seriously like he doesn't start taking his

00:10:55.120 work seriously until he starts a company and starts a job that he really likes and he's really passionate about

00:11:00.740 and so

00:11:01.720 he is kind of like apathetic before then and i think that i could be that way too

00:11:06.000 it's actually really hard for me to focus on things that i don't want to focus on just for the sake of focusing

00:11:10.940 and for the sake of like working on something i actually think that's an amazing character

00:11:15.820 um characteristic of someone

00:11:18.240 who they just work hard for the sake of working hard they complete a task well for the sake of completing the task

00:11:24.180 well i think that's an amazing quality in people and it's a sign of immaturity when people can't do that

00:11:30.260 i would say that has characterized me in my life that until i started doing this

00:11:35.600 and doing what i really love and feel like i'm good at it was very hard for me to focus and to actually

00:11:41.160 care about the work that i was doing just for the sake of working hard and for the sake of caring

00:11:46.080 um and so maybe i relate to jim most like in that way also

00:11:51.260 like i roll my eyes too at what people say a lot if i had a camera and could like break the fourth wall

00:12:00.180 of my life i know that logic doesn't really work and like react to things that people say which is

00:12:06.380 basically what i do on this podcast then i would probably do that i guess that he's the person that i

00:12:11.680 most relate to i'm trying to think is there anyone who sits back and is just like what the heck is going

00:12:18.960 on no probably probably not um yeah so he's probably the one that i most relate to he's not

00:12:27.300 my favorite character my favorite character everyone brings something unique to the table but michael is

00:12:33.740 honestly my favorite character i know that's not like super original but it just is um or he just is

00:12:40.820 he's just my favorite character um people i got a lot of questions about what's my favorite movie

00:12:44.980 my favorite movie um i really like sad movies my husband makes fun of me and he's like whenever i

00:12:54.320 pick a movie he's like you're gonna pick some like tragic movie from the 1980s that's three hours long

00:13:01.540 and i'm like yeah i will i don't see anything wrong with that i do like sad movies like meet joe black

00:13:07.400 that's not from the 80s i love meet joe black with anthony hopkins first of all one of my favorite actors

00:13:12.680 and brad pitt i don't remember the woman's name but that's a great movie the notebook i don't think

00:13:20.100 the notebook is overrated at all i don't know if i've already answered this question on a q a episode

00:13:24.060 that's the problem with doing all these q a's is that i forget which questions i've already answered

00:13:28.100 but the notebook is not overrated in the slightest it is like exactly rated perfectly it's popular because

00:13:37.180 it's an awesome movie and i love sad movies and the notebook is one of the best sad movies in the world

00:13:44.780 um gosh but i like i really like 80s and 90s movies um those are always like my go-to um if i'm picking

00:13:55.240 like a movie on netflix 80s and 90s just one of my favorite eras but it's hard for me to say like

00:14:00.560 what my favorite movie actually is um because i really do like movies like my family we're kind of

00:14:07.840 like movie people my dad has always been someone who likes to go to the movies and like to watch new

00:14:13.360 movies whether they're you know blockbusters or not um and so my family or we're just kind of movie

00:14:20.680 people my husband's family isn't really and so we don't like watch a whole lot of movies but i do i do

00:14:27.140 like them i just don't watch them as much as i used to so i'm having a hard time thinking about

00:14:31.720 like what my actual favorite movie is um let's see next question favorite vacation spot um i might

00:14:43.860 have answered this one too i again these favorite questions are really hard i like the beach i would

00:14:51.860 if i could pick a place to go on a vacation right now it would be hawaii i went to hawaii once when i

00:14:57.060 was in middle school and i really loved it i went to kawaii i would go back there that's probably

00:15:01.460 where i would choose to go if i could choose to be at a vacation spot right now all right next

00:15:07.160 question what are you praying for in regards to our country and world right now so i always pray

00:15:15.260 almost every day every time that i think about it i pray for our nation's leaders i pray that the

00:15:20.520 lord would give them wisdom i pray that the lord to give them compassion would give them discernment

00:15:24.820 to care about our country to care about what's going on and to to make the right decisions and

00:15:31.840 i know you might be thinking well of course like our president and our politicians care about the

00:15:36.420 country i don't have that much optimism i don't really believe that i believe that most bureaucrats

00:15:43.240 are very self-serving and i actually do think that there is a faction of in particular the democratic

00:15:49.140 party who is interested in the demise of the united states as an ideological priority because

00:15:56.940 they see as obama did america as this imperialistic harmful force throughout the world and they think

00:16:04.820 that weakening america is a moral position is a good position to take and that will actually be

00:16:11.400 better for the world they're wrong on that a weak america means a strong china the most totalitarian 0.99

00:16:17.500 dictatorial dictatorial dangerous racist uh cruel uh regime that exists um and so they're wrong on that

00:16:28.940 but i do think that there's a portion of the ideological left who has a vested interest in the

00:16:34.820 weakening and the division of america and they see that as a moral position and so i pray for those

00:16:42.400 people i pray for changed hearts man i pray for people to change their minds i pray for people

00:16:47.960 who have some kind of allegiance to moral and logical truth and i pray that biden would make

00:16:54.480 good decisions for our country that even democrats in congress would make good decisions for our country

00:17:00.100 that people would be willing to stand strong and be bold i love america i i love our country i don't

00:17:07.080 want to see us to see us crumble although it does seem like at the rate we're going it's just

00:17:12.660 unsustainable it's unsus it's unsustainable the kinds of divisions that we have and so i don't pray for

00:17:20.280 just kind of like superficial unity but i do pray for the welfare of our country and i don't think that we

00:17:27.500 deserve god's mercy certainly i don't think that we deserve god's favor certainly we just we

00:17:34.740 absolutely 100 deserve judgment and you know john mcarthur has made the argument that we already

00:17:41.820 are under judgment and that it's too late for our country to repent we have given in too much to

00:17:48.200 degeneracy we've entered too far into the post-truth era that we are receiving and will continue to

00:17:54.440 receive judgment that is something that he said that may be true i also believe though that we have

00:18:00.100 been put in the here and the now for a reason and that christians have always worked for the welfare

00:18:06.220 of the people around them personally through our personal lives and our personal charity our personal

00:18:11.840 volunteering and surface service efforts but also politically and choosing legislation and

00:18:17.960 representatives um that uh help the people around us and allow freedom to flourish and so um

00:18:27.860 and so yeah i hope that kind of answers answers your question uh let's see a lot of people ask me what

00:18:36.640 i think about the series the chosen i haven't watched it so i don't know um someone said no question

00:18:43.440 just want to say that your book was fantastic and i've recommended it to friends thank you so much

00:18:48.260 i really appreciate that a lot my book is you're not enough and that's okay escaping the toxic culture of

00:18:54.720 self-love it came out last august if you haven't read it you can get it anywhere that you get books

00:19:00.460 you can go to allybethstucky.com book and i think the description or the link is actually in the

00:19:06.360 description to this podcast so you can just click on it if you don't want to support amazon that's okay

00:19:10.060 there are other places that you can get the book um this is a very sweet question is critical

00:19:16.180 thinking always been a gift of yours or have certain people helped cultivate it um i don't know that it's

00:19:23.940 necessarily a gift of mine that i have that i have any more than any other person has i think that

00:19:32.360 the gift that god has given me and there are a lot of i hate even saying that because people are

00:19:40.240 i don't want it to sound like at all i am being in any way braggadocious or self-glorifying or not

00:19:47.860 but i think that and c.s lewis makes this argument like if we are totally confident in christ and we're

00:19:53.460 confident in god and in giving him the glory for the things that we have then we can very openly talk

00:19:59.440 about our gifts as openly as we talk about our uh our weaknesses knowing that our gifts are not

00:20:06.240 something that we can take credit for but that are given to us by god so when i say that i am not

00:20:11.780 trying to self-elevate myself in any way and there are people that you know probably hate this podcast

00:20:16.520 who are like oh that's not true of you at all you have no talents you bring nothing to the table

00:20:21.580 um and that's okay too but i think that the gift that god has given me is maybe not necessarily

00:20:28.020 critically thinking although i do think that's the inability that i have i think it's an ability that

00:20:34.420 everyone has not everyone has been taught how to do it not everyone does it because a lot of people

00:20:40.500 have allowed their minds to be atrophied by constant scrolling on social media and they never read a

00:20:46.840 book and they never write and their teachers never taught them how to do these things especially kids

00:20:52.140 who are young today and they're not challenged in any way but i think that everyone most people have

00:20:59.780 the capacity to be able to think critically but i do think that the gift that i have other people have

00:21:05.280 other gifts that i don't have but i think one gift that i have is the ability to articulate

00:21:10.860 um thoughts to articulate analysis i have always really liked analysis my favorite um you know my

00:21:19.820 favorite courses were always english were always literature i didn't even really like history but

00:21:24.840 anything that involved writing a paper anything that involved you know analyzing symbolism or

00:21:30.880 analyzing content and then drawing meaning from that and then applying it in a way that is interesting

00:21:37.920 or thought-provoking that is what i have always loved i love analyzing i love thinking i love drawing

00:21:44.760 meaning out of things i love the bible i love uh thinking biblically or thinking about the world through the lens

00:21:54.260 of scripture and i will say i've always loved that and that is something that i think god has given me

00:22:00.680 like that love and that passion and the ability to then communicate thoughts in a way that for most

00:22:07.340 people not everyone is clear and compelling um i also like in second grade for example i think i've

00:22:14.960 probably told this story before i went to a christian school growing up and in second grade everyone got

00:22:20.920 um you know awards like character awards at the end of the year and so it's a christian school most

00:22:26.980 people get like oh you're a faithful friend or you're joyful or even like you're organized and i

00:22:33.560 remember the award that i got i still have the little trophy was persuasive and i remember as an

00:22:40.260 eight-year-old like being offended by that award because i knew that it wasn't necessarily like a cat

00:22:47.900 it wasn't like this universally positive term necessarily the way that you know like joyful

00:22:56.260 or generous is and i just remember my um teacher telling me yeah you're persuasive that means you

00:23:03.300 would make a really good attorney and i cried to my mom at home because i was like i don't want to be

00:23:09.660 an attorney and but actually today sometimes i do want to be an attorney and sometimes i do think about

00:23:15.420 going into that but then i remember i have to go to three years of school and take tests and study

00:23:19.200 and i hate homework so i don't want to do that but um i do think that god has given me a desire

00:23:26.640 and an ability which can always be honed can always be improved and there will always be people that you

00:23:32.380 know have this gift you know more than i do and i'm fine with that but i do think an ability that

00:23:37.280 he has given me is the ability to communicate critical thinking and communicate messages and to

00:23:43.660 persuade people to agree with me um and so i'm thankful for that and that's why i have a podcast

00:23:50.940 i don't know what i would do with my life if i weren't communicating in some way that i know that

00:23:58.400 i was born to do that i know god has called me to do from the time that i was little i've known

00:24:03.920 that i wanted to do something like this and i've never swayed from that conviction i also think that

00:24:13.320 my parents did a really good job of cultivating that in me um my mom and my grandmother i've talked

00:24:22.640 about this before we're both teachers for several years my grandmother was a teacher for decades my

00:24:28.240 grandmother lived with us until i was 13 and we were very close and both of them did a really good job

00:24:34.280 in teaching me and in cultivating kind of the natural strengths that i already had

00:24:38.840 really bad at math i'm really bad at science i really don't like any of that stuff but i love to

00:24:45.220 write i love to read i love to think i love to talk i love to argue and i love to persuade i love to

00:24:51.640 convince i love to you know i i love to do anything that has to do with you know rhetoric and communication

00:24:59.320 and things like that and my mom and grandmother both my grandmother has died but are both really good

00:25:05.580 at that kind of thing and they taught me to read from a very young age they cultivated a love of

00:25:10.360 reading in me from a very young age a love of words i've always loved words um and a love of

00:25:17.240 memorization my mom helped me memorize at a very young age which i think has literally been probably

00:25:23.740 one of the biggest helps in in my life people ask me all the time how do you like know where to go in

00:25:32.680 the bible i'll be talking in a podcast and i'll like reference the book of james or something like

00:25:37.180 that and i'll reference a passage that i thought about as i was talking about something else well

00:25:41.520 one i mean i was raised in the church i went to a christian school all of that helped but my mom

00:25:45.940 when i was 18 months old had me memorizing stuff memorizing books memorizing the alphabet memorizing

00:25:55.040 all kinds of different names constantly singing with me singing to me teaching me jingles

00:25:59.880 teaching me rhymes teaching me different sayings and things like that and so my mom and grandmother

00:26:06.740 were just both dedicated to my education before i started going to school and i really think like

00:26:13.000 those just even like first few years of my life the videos that i see of my mom like teaching me stuff

00:26:20.320 and me repeating the things that i heard or being able to like before i was two you know tell you

00:26:26.580 what the what every letter stands for and the words that start with that letter that doesn't have

00:26:31.720 anything to do with me it has to do with a mom and a grandmother and parents who are dedicated

00:26:37.400 to helping me learn in that way parents have such a huge impact like in those first few years on your

00:26:45.180 child's ability to think on your child's ability to articulate and if there's anything i encourage

00:26:50.680 young people today to do is to make sure you can build a solid argument make sure you can write a

00:26:57.700 solid paper make sure you know your grammar make sure that you can speak well make sure that you can

00:27:03.420 think reasonably make sure that you can actually argue in a way that's not just emotional most people

00:27:08.700 today coming out of college from what i can tell cannot do those things they can't and i promise you

00:27:14.380 will continue to stand out like if we as a 29 year old if i am the generation that is like

00:27:20.180 employing the the kids that are in like high school now like once they are adults then i promise you i

00:27:28.280 at least and i think other people my age will still care about that kind of stuff like we'll still care

00:27:33.320 about your ability to carry on a conversation we'll still care about your ability um to be able to

00:27:39.520 write well i will i promise you i will still care about grammar and punctuation i promise you i will

00:27:45.360 still care about that kind of stuff i will care about your ability to communicate and the kind of

00:27:51.340 people that when i get sent resumes and things like that that stand out to me are the people that can

00:27:55.700 speak well the people that can write well the people that are able to articulate themselves well

00:28:00.700 and parents of young kids like you can start that now like there's so many resources available for

00:28:08.480 parents to just teach their kids to memorize stuff and i'm just astounded every day at the things

00:28:13.820 that uh like my daughter is able to retain and then regurgitate that you might think is like oh 0.99

00:28:19.740 they'll learn that in kindergarten i'm not like some parenting expert i'm not pretending to be because

00:28:24.720 as i'm speaking i only have you know i've only had experience raising one child for a couple years and

00:28:31.000 so i'm not pretending to know everything but just from my experience as a child and what little

00:28:35.860 experience i do have and the friends that i have that are farther along in their parenting

00:28:39.840 um parenting years don't wait until kindergarten to educate your kids like don't wait until

00:28:45.980 kindergarten to teach your kids the alphabet or to teach your kids how to read or to you know

00:28:51.140 teach your kids the the building blocks of memorization and analysis and things like that

00:28:57.080 their brains i've realized are so ripe for learning and memorization i really do think that

00:29:04.240 that lays such a good foundation for the rest of their lives because if there's one thing that i can

00:29:10.700 do well that i that has served me in this job in so many just different like random times that i can

00:29:18.220 think of um it's memorization i can memorize anything and i can memorize it really quickly that is not me

00:29:26.500 that is my parents and my mom and grandmother in particular i think laying those building blocks when i was

00:29:32.720 really young so those early years matter so much moms you matter so much you impact and influence

00:29:40.020 your kids so much and the world is crazy trying to diminish the importance of intellect diminish the

00:29:48.060 importance of merit diminish the importance of communication critical thinking and argumentation

00:29:53.600 and we have to be willing to raise a generation that can do all of those things and that's so

00:29:58.260 important also in understanding the bible and reading the bible and sharing the gospel communication

00:30:03.640 like i remember i think it was charlie kirk who said something that i thought was interesting that

00:30:09.200 christianity we are called to be evangelists we're called to be evangelists we are called to share the

00:30:17.340 gospel and to speak and that contrast to other faiths something like buddhism which puts a

00:30:23.140 a premium on silence that the most holy thing that you can be is quiet christianity is something

00:30:29.820 different i mean god jesus himself is called uh the word made flesh uh the bible also says that the word

00:30:38.780 of god will not return void god is all about communication he is all about persuasion like he is all about

00:30:46.540 words and uh whether you're like me or not whether you like words or communication or writing or not

00:30:53.300 like that is something that god calls christians to that is something that christianity is and so if we

00:30:59.840 care about creating young apologists creating young faithful thinking christians that we also have to be

00:31:06.980 faithful i think as parents as teachers as sunday school teachers as mentors as counselors whatever

00:31:13.060 capacity that you are in that you're influencing the next generation ensuring that they have that

00:31:17.920 ability to think critically and to communicate well um that's not a personality type i think everyone is

00:31:23.600 able to do it with the right equipment i hope that i answered the question i know that was kind of

00:31:27.800 a long way to answer that but um that's all uh that's all i've got for today that's all i've got time for

00:31:35.080 thank you guys so much for listening and we'll be back here soon
